ok, does anyone know how to reference (APA style) a website within the body of the text?
i get how to do it at the end, in the full list of references, but how do i do it within the body of the report?

 

[Minai]

APA style?
does that include footnoting?

if its anything like Harvard style (the one I use for my commerce essays), you cite in-text in the following form: if the author was Tolkien, J.R.R and the text was published in 1995, then the in-text citiation would be as follows:

However, we can apply the phrase "recieve but not take from your fathers" (Tolkien 1995 p.52) here to support......blah blah

 

[hipsta_jess]

yeah, i get referencing for books and stuff...im just not sure on website referencing with the text

 

[hipsta_jess]

its ok, i found the answer

in text

6. When there is no author, items should be cited using the title. If it is the title of a chapter or article, use double quotation marks around the title. If it is the title of a book, web page, report, etc. underline the title
Do NOT use Anon. or Anonymous.

ugh we haven't got to this yet

 

[hipsta_jess]

hey, also, how would i reference a picture
like, say i got a picture from www.blah.com, how would I in-text reference that? like, would I just put the picture in and then put the website name after it or something?

 

[MoNNiE]

it's more like... you label the picture say "fig 1 - the blah blah" along with it's source

then in the report essay etc you write in referance to fig 1 blah blah blah

that's the way i usually do it..and see some textbooks

Try and use more meaningful thread names in the future.

 

[Lexicographer]

You can change it you know

 

[Dingo2004]

i put in bullshit references
as if dey gonna know
hahahaha

 

[Lexicographer]

They are. If your references look suspicious they check them. At least that's what I've been told.

 

[santaslayer]

we use the havard style for BComm and AGLC for LLB

The whole citing thing becomes a bit of an issue doesn't it...

we were covering plagurism in one of our classes today, and apparently its even plagurism to copy someones 'structure' eg. in textbook they reccomend approaching negligence with a nonconventional structure and you use that structure you have to cite them... also if you even just use an idea of theres you have to cite... ie it is still plagerism even if you change a few words in the sentance around...

I'm scared :s

 

[santaslayer]

yepz...kinda shit if u ask me......

what if it was ur idea initially, but it just happened that a person writing a book thought of it first?

 

[hipsta_jess]

we use a program that detects plagiarism (Turnitin) so its impossible to escape...
the thing i hate is thinking that i could get a red score (over 25% plagiarised) just coz i have an idea that i use, sure it may have appeared somewhere else, but i cant read every piece of material ever written on a topic. is it my fault if it appears somewhere else and i unwittingly use it? apparently so..
